See, I have a theory about the 2012 olympics. I think the people behind it are trying to make us look like the biggest bunch of tossers imaginable so that less immigrants want to come here.
Seriously, fething Albania could come up with a better design concept than this, and we're supposed to be one of the worlds cultural centers.

I suppose they needed something awful to go with that bloody logo.

I reckon they were designed ages ago, along with the logo. The reasoning was probably that by the time 2012 rolls around it'll be, like, 'the future'.
One-eyed day-glo bipedal space-lobsters are NOT cool in the future.
What a fething weird sentence.
EDIT: Ninja'd by fishcakes. That's another weird sentence.

@ Morathi - Agreed, your title was better 
@ Tilean Bastard - They are drops of molten steel (seriously!) named Wenlock and Mandeville (again, seriously!).
@ J.Black - They were unveiled in a school, so that the discerning British public (i.e. kids) could give them the thumbs up.

Ridiculous, but they look a bit phallic, so its not all bad.

We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels. |

Molten Steel?
A better idea would have been to tape 10 grand in cash onto the back of an immigrant, then ask them politely not to blow the country up.

Pah, already you quail at our mighty cyclopic mascots knowing that GB is going kick USA across the pond and back again in any event you dare to challenge us (except basketball, we don't play girls games).
Ahem  Decided to introduce some sporting jingoism into the thread. Are there any Australians around?
